@stjepanlukac Honestly, if you want to play a Hellboy-inspired #TTRPG, I strongly recommend that you take a look at Apocalypse Keys, which is a Hellboy RPG with the serial numbers filed off. IMO, Apocalypse Keys is a far, far better take on the themes and action of Hellboy comics than the official game. I also think it's far more fun to play. #ApocalypseKeys #PbtA #HellboyRPG

We had the last session of our #apocalypseKeys game today. As per tradition, about half the team at least *thought* of defecting to the Harbinger trying to doom the world, but we prevailed in the end.
Sadly, we played pretty late, so we didn't have much time for debriefing stuff and will have to do that via text afterwards.

That being said, it was a great game. Also, these were our first rolls of the evening (the ideal thing to roll in this system is 8-10). My personal highlight of the game was my character gaining the trust of a biomechanic door. And trapping a transformed former ally in a book when they attacked us, because I guess that's just what characters of mine do in weird magical settings.

Today is the conclusion of Four Cryptids and an Apocalypse! How will it end?
Even more important, are you ready to put on those Omen Class Monster shoes yourself & play Apocalypse Keys? Join me for one of my monthly one shots

StartPlayingPlay Apocalypse Keys Online | Learn to Play Apocalypse KeysAre you tired of playing Mother May I with your DM? Do you have what it takes to resist what The Darkness demands? Will you choose friendship over power? Or risk it all for a glimpse behind the door? Welcome to Apocalypse Keys, a game built on the Powered by the Apocalypse system. You will play as powerful and foreboding entities known as Omen Cass Monsters. It’s up to you and your friends to solve the mystery and find the Harbinger of the Apocalypse… Before it is too late. Power? That you have. Control? That remains to be seen. This is a story driven game using playbooks, each with their own dark drives. When you lean in to these demands during roleplay you earn Darkness Tokens which can be added to your rolls, enhancing your chance of success. However, in a deviation from traditional tabletop roleplaying games, rolling too high in Apocalypse Keys comes with a price. But, if you’re willing to Reveal Your Heart, the bonds you forge with your teammates will prove to be one of your most valuable assets, serving to give you that extra little push or hauling you back from the brink. Your team’s mission: Stop the Harbingers from reaching the Doors of Power. Who are the Harbingers? Like you, they are Omen Class Monsters. But they’ve surrendered to that same darkness whispering in the corners of your mind. The mystery at the heart of it all? Unlike a game of Clue, there is no grand reveal, no butler, no candlestick. In Apocalypse Keys, no one knows who the Harbinger is or where the Door of Power lies. Not even the Keeper of the Keys. You are the Omen Class Monster. You have the power. Reality is as you define it. So what will it be? Love? Death? Carnage? Unlock the answers with Apocalypse Keys! Want to see Apocalypse Keys in action?

Something that just occurred to me about #ApocalypseKeys: The fact that no one uses permanent stats and abilities are mostly defined by your Powers of Darkness makes it really easy to grab moves from other playbooks without having to roll them on your worst stats.
In #UrbanShadows, our Imp was in fact an Incubus and the Vamp's Eternal Hunger move would have been perfect, but it's rolled on a stat the Imp gets at -1.
In ApocalypseKeys, I noticed that my Surge will likely generate a lot of bonds for others and act as a knowledge repository, so the Shade's move I'm the Expert Here would be quite useful and appropriate and I can just take it... once I get the necessary XP...

#PoweredByTheApocalypse

Yesterday, I had my first game of #ApocalypseKeys with @Frank82R, @catrinity, @waytooshiny and @tinofalke. Their crew of Lethe (Summoned), Dio (Last) and Alex(ander the Great, Found) was rounded out by Vernon Czehowsky (Surge), former archivist, who will save the world with the power of order and bureaucracy! (Or maybe doom it - we'll see.)

Since the session was pretty short, we didn't get too far past the briefing, but my favorite moment was when I unintentionally managed to piggyback three moves onto one another just by having a friendly conversation. Leading to...

Me: So it says here that you can take a Condition to-
Tino: I do it!

Either way, it was a wonderful game so far and I can't wait to continue it next month.

Im #Sommer ist bei mir immer selbstgewählte #pnpde-Flaute.

Aber so langsam geht’s wieder los:

🏛️ 🐍 Die montägliche Mittwochsrunde ist wieder angelaufen und lässt uns mit #Cortex gegen pseudogriechische misogyne Philosophen und Krümelfrauen ziehen.

🚪🗝️ Heute Abend kann ich wieder meinen geliebten Alex (the Great!) in #ApocalypseKeys spielen!

💎🛶 Und morgen rollt auch endlich das tolle #FitD #CourtOfBlades wieder an, für dass ich mir dringend ein bisschen neue Edelsteinmagie ausdenken muss!

18.Tag: Mein Lieblingssystem

Mit absoluten Favoriten tue ich mich schwer. Weshalb ich aber Powered by the Apocalpyse bzw. #PbtA so gern mag: Es gibt so viele Varianten, mal mehr, mal weniger crunchy, teils kaum miteinander vergleichbar. Ich mag dir Offenheit, mit der PbtA-Spiele sich aneinander weiterentwickeln und Neues mit Bekanntem mischen. Besonders deutlich wird das für mich gerade bei #ApocalypseKeys, das viele bekannte Regelelemente verschiedener anderer Spiele kombiniert und dadurch etwas ganz innovatives und eigenes schafft.

Dann mache ich dieses Jahr doch auch mal beim #rpgaday2023 mit:

1. Erstes RPG, das ich gespielt habe?
Das war (fast schon klar) Das Schwarze Auge, damals in der frisch erschienenen dritten Edition. Ich war 11 oder so, hatte eine Box mit Spielbrett und Miniaturen erwartet und habe drei Jahre gebraucht, um das Ding zu verstehen und erstmals zu spielen :D

Dieses Jahr war mein erstes RPG #ApocalypseKeys, ein großartiges PbtA und wir haben versucht, die verschwundene Aurora Borealis über Island zu retten!
